Griffonstone is finally getting a much-needed makeover. Some of the buildings have collapsed, they need to have a stable way of getting food aside from Gilda's bakery, the whole place is just a mess. There are some ponies that have planned on helping, but still, some of the students have volunteered to restore the fallen kingdom.

Things aren't looking very good though. A gang of griffons has kidnapped some of the creatures that were planning on restoring the kingdom and the map has called the Young Six to rescue them. Gilda also decides to tag along, partly because she's worried about what will happen to the students and also because she doesn't want her home's reputation to be any worse.
